Thank you for purchasing our simulation of Saab 35 Draken
, the legendary cold war jet
fighter/interceptor that served in four national air forces during five decades.
This manual explains how to install and use the final version of Bookmark Draken for Lockheed Martin Prepar3D and Microsoft Flight Simulator X.
The 3D model was created with Autodesk Gmax based on original Saab drawings and technical manuals, countless photos, and many hours spent in real Draken cockpits.
The textures were mostly hand drawn in Adobe Photoshop. Photos were not used directly for texturing, with the exception of some minor parts of the panel bitmaps and some of the decals on the wings and tail fin. All photos used in this way are either the property of Bookmark or in the public domain.
Bookmark has not knowingly put anything into Draken that is not owned by Bookmark or unrestricted for commercial use. If you see anything in the installation package or in the documentation that you belive is a copyright violation on our part, please contact Bookmark.
The Flight Manual describes all the simulated systems, gauges and controls in the aircraft and how to use them. At the end of the document is an appendix with technical data, radio frequency tables, procedure check lists and a short glossary.
This is a complex simulation of an old military jet. Most of the instruments and switches in the cockpit are not labeled in English, and they may sometimes not be very intuitive regarding their function. We strongly recommend that you read through the Installation and Normal operating procedures chapters before continuing.
All components of the current version that are present in the simulations are described in the Flight Manual. Some systems and functions that are not simulated are described anyway, either because they are visible in the cockpit or because they are related to one of the simulated functions.

Although I am presently the only one left on the development team, this has never been a one-man effort. Credits are due to all who have contributed to this project over the years, but especially to:
The many former Draken pilots and mechanics who generously provided me with obscure details about Draken and invaluable help with testing and fine-tuning the simulation.
The dedicated people at F10 Kamratförening and the Air Museum in Ängelholm for help and encouragement, and for providing unlimited access to the real Draken aircraft and to the original flight manuals and technical documentation.
Our faithful (and patient) customers and friends in the flightsimming community for technical and moral support, testing, and general know-how.
Family members, significant others and assorted pets. You know who you are.
